“You were born into a world at war, and will live all your days in the midst of a great battle, involving all the forces of heaven and hell played out here on earth… Until we come to terms with war as the context of our days we will not understand life. We will misunderstand 90 percent of what is happening around us and to us. It will be hard to believe that God’s intentions toward us are life abundant.”
